The Sands of Time vs. The Warrior Within
« on: December 27, 2004, 05:52:42 am »
Originally, I planned to spend my Christmas break online playing Planeshift. However, since every time I try to log on I >>>>>>|  go linkdead   |<<<<<< ( X( ), I turned to the next best thing, the new Prince of Persia game that I recieved for Christmas.
Now, it may just be me, but even on an Xbox there happened to be a lot of bugs in that game. For instance, when I entered one enormous room, there was a movie that was suppossed to play. Did that movie play? Of course not! I spent about two hours running around that room looking for a way out. Also, certain sounds don\'t play, like when the dog-creatures explode.
And don\'t forget about those adrenaline-pumping times when the music will reach its climax, then stop playing.  :rolleyes: I also saw some graphical issues with the game, such as dead enemy body parts floating after they\'re killed, and white lines flashing where the faces of two objects met (such as on a box) (forget what it\'s called, though)
That\'s about it, considering what problems I encountered in the game.
Other than that, even the gampeplay was really awkward. In one instance, I managed to do a vault off of someone\'s back and flew so far that I threw myself off the edge of the world. Whee! :D  Also, I could do without the gallons of blood gushing out of everything living and non-living and the squishy squishy sound that makes you want to just throw up accompanying it.
The puzzles are challenging and exciting, though. The game\'s very redundant, but it keeps you sort of entranced until the end. The Prince mostly decided his own controls, especially during fights. One time I told him to rewind time, so he jumped off the side of a cliff. Not very intelligent, is he?  :rolleyes:
Well, I just wanted to get this thread started and get your opinions on either game.

Many seek the goal, but you must seek the journey.

I\'ve got the Gamecube version of that so I will be playing that at some point.  Want to finish Metroid first though.  So will be interesting to see if I see any of the same problems.
